Description
Hi! I’m Yuki from Japan.
After a few busy years working in Tokyo, I’m currently on a break to reconnect with nature and animals before starting my master's degree in the Netherlands this autumn. I’ve stepped away from my desk to spend more time outdoors and get my hands dirty.
💚About me
I’m a curious and easy-going person. I’m quite "quietly passionate"—I enjoy focusing on physical tasks like gardening or animal care, but I also love a good chat over a shared meal. Having traveled to more than 30 countries, worked for a local company in Tanzania and trekked Mt. Kilimanjaro, I’m very adaptable and don’t mind a simple, rustic lifestyle.
🐶Animal lover
I grew up surrounded by dogs (my parents were police dog trainers!), so being around animals is where I feel most at home. I’m very comfortable looking after pets of all sizes.
I’m a reliable person who values clear communication and responsibility, but most of all, I’m looking for an authentic experience and to meet kind-hearted people.
I’m ready to help out and be part of your daily life! -
